Sounds like a good flick from reading reviews. Thanks for taking the time to write them!! 😀

I grew up in SF. This film takes you all over the City. The previous viewer who mistook Play land at the Beach for Santa Monica was slightly confused by the Laughing Lady. That was a San Francisco landmark. Anne Sheridan is absolutely breathtaking. Her cool demeanor and snarky comments were just the way the women played it back then. Mr. Keith was a classic SFPD Inspector. Rembrandt steals the show! The bad guy makes a few mistakes. See if you catch them. All is not as it seems as the misty fog rolls through the Golden Gate and over San Francisco Bay.

I really enjoy this "B" movie, which is an A-plus movie as far as I am concerned. I've watched it countless times and always enjoy everything about it, especially Ann Sheridan and the many wisecracks.Danny Boy is truly creepy in his smooth sociopathy. I think it helps the suspense to reveal early on that he is a bad guy because the viewer is constantly in suspense hoping Ann Sheridan will soon wise up.

This began and ended with a bang? I would rather watch these black and white noir films than anything they’ve put out the last fifty years. So happy to have found this site.

This movie was wacked. The man is the one on the run: so why it's title woman on the run go figure. It took to long before leading man reappeared. And the end made no darn sense. Worse movie I 've seen on the this list.

The B units at the movie studios can really turn out some superior movies in a short amount of time. Tight dialogue, quick pace, a nice twist at the end.

"She's not gonna like it..." Great line.
One of the best written, directed & acted noir films.

Some great snappy dialogue here. Genuine laugh out loud moments and suspense and loved the arcade scenes. Sustained tension at the end. Never heard of this before so very pleased I saw it.

I liked it, period.

Good lesson for all. Again, it is highly ridiculous how most people cannot reason to the point of being able to see when a murderer [killer] is thier closest company towards killing what is dear to them. What causes this relapse in behavior?----Lack of relaxation in Christ which can allow one the peace to expose problems.

Excellent motion picture featuring Ann Sheridan and Dennis O'Keefe with a strong supporting cast. The plot is suspenseful and moves along nicely from start to finish.

One of the screenwriters on this film was Alan Campbell, twice husband of Dorothy Parker.

Moose Malloy is right. It's a decent thriller in any case, but suspense is raised to a maximum by this director too early and isn't maintained or topped at the movie's climax. Hitchcock had a very similar situation, where a companion is revealed to be a killer, in Foreign Correspondent, but managed more suspense before and after, as well as a breathtaking climax.
I downloaded the MPEG4 file. It's Ok for a TV rip.

Very, very enjoyable 1950 B-Noir. The script is surprisingly good with many cracklings lines and situations.
Norman Foster (JOURNEY INTO FEAR and RACHEL AND THE STRANGER) directs. He certainly does well, although the climactic finale (though strong) would have benefited from a Welles or Hitchcock (few films wouldn't, I hear you say).
Hal Mohr (WEDDING MARCH, MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM) photographs it, though this MPEG4 copy doesn't show enough detail to really rate his work. But what is visible is certainly pleasing.
An enjoyable cast moves things along with many denizens (character actors) of San Francisco given a little line here and there by the script. These details, along with the exciting and extensive location work, help to give the film a strong atmosphere.
The film's only real mistake, arguably, was revealing the surprising twist quite early on.
All in all, one of the best films I've downloaded from archive.org and the perfect movie to watch at midnight with a cup of steaming black coffee (a little added rum in there is allowed on cold nights)!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go walk Rembrandt.

set in San Francisco although the scenes at the defunct Playland-At-The Beach were actually shot down at the defunct Pacific Ocean Park - in Santa Monica. While Ann Sheridan is excellent - I also like Robert Keith in this one.

I already own this one and I highly recommend it.
